ATTENDEE SPOTLIGHT - @HollettLA

I’m Lisa, known as HollettLA in the fandom and on Twitter. Contrary to the “LA” in my name, I do not live in Los Angeles, but just outside of DC. The LA is just my first two initials. I produce infomercials in RL and I do actually enjoy my job. I’m 38 and single and have an unhealthy addiction to Diet Coke and wine.

I’ve been a beta for…wow, ever, it seems. But really only been about 3 years. I beta FT for SexyLexiCullen, CaraNo, Landdownunder, and TheFicChick – the latter of whom I am really excited to meet in person at this year’s event. (That feels grammatically wrong, but I’m not gonna sweat it. Judge me if you must.)

Have also started editing OFic and am now making money at that, so I have Twi-fic to thank for generating my interest in that sideline. But I won’t be abandoning my authors anytime soon. Though I may be guilty of gently pushing them into writing original. Maybe it’s not gentle, but whatever. They haven’t complained yet.

I enjoyed last year’s meet-up in Vegas and am looking forward to seeing some of you again and meeting even more new people.
